There are many ways to earn money while you travel. Your personality and background
will play a major role in determining how you pay your way. Most people getting into the
RV lifestyle will become familiar with such terms as work camper, work camper, work
camping. Simply put, we are striving to pay the rent and put food on the table so we can
continue to move around in our RV.
Some of us are very introverted, or adverse to risk taking, and will therefore only
find peace of mind in working for an employer where a paycheck is guaranteed for hours
worked. Others are more receptive to uncertainty and will become self-employed or work
commission only type jobs.
You have the opportunity to work for a single employer, be employed full-time,
and still move to many diverse locations in your RV. One fact you will have to come to
grips with is that by limiting yourself to the employer's locations, you have
automatically limited your freedom to move as you see fit.
An example that readily comes to mind is the construction trades. We have friends
who are living in a new state every few months as their employer's needs dictate. They
love enjoying and exploring their new locations.
There are some not-so-typical opportunities you may not have thought of. How
about working for one of America's largest corporate employers with several thousand
locations throughout the United States and abroad?
Are you ready for this? Go to work for your friendly local Wal-Mart and you have
access to thousands of small-town locations in practically every nook and cranny of our
country.
Want to live in the desert, the mountains, on the coast? Well, there's probably a
Wal-Mart in the heart of your destination. After you have worked for at least six months,
simply have your store personnel department fax your transfer request to a handful of
stores in the areas where you want to relocate. Chances are, if you have been a decent
employee, you'll get several offers.
In addition, you have access to employee discounts on products you buy every day,
promotion opportunities, insurance, retirement benefits, and the flexibility of moving all
around the United States without worrying about where your next dollar is coming from. And you thought you would have to give up your
security to enjoy the RV lifestyle. HA!
Don't want to work for Wal-Mart? Do you like to talk on the telephone. Even
if you don't like talking on the telephone try the Gallup Organization. This world-wide
market research company has call center locations at several locations around the United
States. What's so unique about this?
Well, you can very easily transfer between call centers doing high-level opinion
polling/market research work. If you watch CNN news, you have see the results of the
Gallup Opinion polls.
Alicia and I both worked for the Gallup Organization, and give it our highest
recommendation if you are cut out for this sort of work. The pay? Well, when we worked
there you were paid for surveys completed.
This means your earnings per hour are not capped. We typically earned a minimum
of $12.50 to $25.00 hourly. During one bonus period when the call center was overwhelmed
with work, we brought home nearly $10,000 after taxes in one month. This is of course, not
at all typical, but the pay is consistently good.
If you want to take off a few months for a leave of absence, no problem. You will
be able to go back to work with your previous pay structure intact.
